Thank you Martians

[Jack Jones]

Teams #494 and #70 from Goodrich, MI have bailed out team #1213 by fronting them the money to make today's registration. Thanks to Pat and Jay and all Martians for your assistance.

The two schools, Goodrich and Groves, will be working together to raffle off an Xbox 360 and a flat panel TV. We went into the elims a couple of times in '05 partnered with the Martians and are looking forward to working with them in '06 off the field as well as on.

Thanks again Goodrich.

Now THAT's the way FIRST is supposed to work . In this time of financial hardship for many of our sponsors it's nice to have good friends that can help you over a hump. Congrats on stayin' alive for another year (I know we struggle every year ...) and way to go Martians!

Couldnt have said it better!

From my point of view the martions seem to be a VERY gererous team, last year they took our cart down to atlanta (i almost spelled that with an "s" wouldnt that'uv been funny) for us since we were unable to transport it ourselves.

Since i live in Ortonville Mi. i am honored to live so close to a team that is so kind and generous.

i second Stu when i say "Way to go Martians!"

Now that is FIRST in its finest hour. Keeping other team's afloat is definitely something to proud of. Good luck with your raffle!

[Billfred]

Indeed, it's always good to see teams helping other teams. Changing the culture and all that gets kinda hard when you can't keep a team going in one place.

Have you hugged a Martian today? (Dave, don't answer that.)

[Amanda Morrison]

This definitely shouldn't go unrecognized.

The Martians are truly a class act. I can't give enough kudos.

[Katie Reynolds]

Very cool - way to go!

[Vince lau]

good job Martians

[Jay Trzaskos]

Way to go Martians! That folks, is FIRST at it's finest. I'm with Amanda on this one... ++++ +++++++++ ++++ Kudos to you guys!

[Alex Burman]

i totally agree with the rest of them, what they did was a very good thing.

does one need to be present for the raffling of the x box 360? i would definitely like to help out some, and i have wanted a x box 360. Maybe you could ebay it, some of those go for $1,000.

I have always been fond of the Martians. They are reliable on the field and very helpful otherwise. Way to go.
